New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Adopted In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” 11.0 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “ Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Recognition. Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “ Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, " Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. he amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this guidance for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. We are still assessing the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases ” codified in ASC 842, “ Leases. ” The guidance requires that lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The amendment also will require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, and have the option to use certain relief. Full retrospective application is prohibited. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this guidance for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. We are still assessing the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “ Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting .” The amendment eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment upon it qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. ASU 2016-07 requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor's previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment qualifies for equity method accounting. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this guidance for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ” The amendment requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, thus eliminating the probable initial recognition threshold and instead reflecting the current estimate of all expected credit losses. The amendment also requires that credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than a write-down, thus enabling the ability to record reversals of credit losses in current period net income. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted . In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Certain Cash Payments. ” The amendments address the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements

Ryerson also pays commitment fees on amounts not borrowed at a rate of 0.25%. Borrowings under the Ryerson Credit Facility are secured by first-priority liens on all of the inventory, accounts receivables, lockbox accounts and related assets of the borrowers and the guarantors. The Ryerson Credit Facility also contains covenants that, among other things, restrict Ryerson and its restricted subsidiaries with respect to the incurrence of debt, the creation of liens, transactions with affiliates, mergers and consolidations, sales of assets and acquisitions.

JT Ryerson may be required to make an offer to purchase the 2022 Notes upon the sale of assets or upon a change of control. The 2018 Notes and 2022 Notes contain customary covenants that, among other things, limit, subject to certain exceptions, our ability, and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock, make investments, sell assets, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations or create liens or use assets as security in other transactions.

Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In October 2011, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) named us as one of more than 100 businesses that may be a potentially responsible party for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site (“Portland Harbor”). On February 9, 2016, the EPA published its Final Remedial Investigation Report. On June 8, 2016, the EPA published both the Draft Feasibility Study and associated Superfund Proposed Plan (“Proposed Plan”). The Proposed Plan includes a combination of dredging, capping and enhanced natural recovery that would take approximately seven years to construct plus additional time for monitored natural recovery, at an estimated overall cost of $745.7 million. There are various other claims and pending actions against the Company. The amount of liability, if any, for those other claims and actions at September 30, 2016 is not determinable but, in the opinion of management, such liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We maintain liability insurance coverage to assist in protecting our assets from losses arising from or related to activities associated with business operations.

Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements	NOTE 9: DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Derivatives The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity price risk. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating-rate borrowings. We use foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge our Canadian subsidiaries’ variability in cash flows from the forecasted payment of currencies other than the functional currency. From time to time, we may enter into fixed price sales contracts with our customers for certain of our inventory components. We may enter into metal commodity futures and options contracts periodically to reduce volatility in the price of metals. We may also enter into natural gas and diesel fuel price swaps to manage the price risk of forecasted purchases of natural gas and diesel fuel. The Company currently does not account for its derivative contracts as hedges but rather marks them to market with a corresponding offset to current earnings. The Company regularly reviews the creditworthiness of its derivative counterparties and does not expect to incur a significant loss from the failure of any counterparties to perform under any agreements. The following table summarizes the location and fair value amount of our derivative instruments reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015: Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Fair Value Fair Value Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 (In millions) Foreign exchange contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ — $ 0.1 Other accrued liabilities $ — $ — Commodity contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets 5.6 — Other accrued liabilities 0.9 3.5 Total derivatives $ 5.6 $ 0.1 $ 0.9 $ 3.5 As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts had a U.S. dollar notional amount of $1.7 million and $1.6 million tons had The following table summarizes the location and amount of gains and losses reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015: Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives Derivatives not designated as Location of Gain/(Loss) Recognized Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, hedging instruments under ASC 815 in Income on Derivatives 2016 2015 2016 2015 (In millions) Metal commodity contracts Cost of materials sold $ 1.7 $ (3.1 ) $ 9.0 $ (10.5 ) Diesel fuel hedges Warehousing, delivery, selling, general and administrative — (0.3 ) 0.1 (0.2 ) Foreign exchange contracts Other income and (expense), net — 0.1 (0.1 ) 0.1 Total $ 1.7 $ (3.3 ) $ 9.0 $ (10.6 ) Fair Value Measurements To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows: 1. Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date. 2. Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. 3. Level 3 – unobservable inputs, such as internally-developed pricing models for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability. The following table presents assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2016: At September 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In millions) Assets Prepaid and other current assets: Common stock—available-for-sale investment $ 1.1 $ — $ — Mark-to-market derivatives: Commodity contracts $ — $ 5.6 $ — Liabilities Mark-to-market derivatives: Commodity contracts $ — $ 0.9 $ — The following table presents assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2015: At December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In millions) Assets Prepaid and other current assets: Common stock – available-for-sale investment $ 2.2 $ — $ — Mark-to-market derivatives: Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ 0.1 $ — Liabilities Mark-to-market derivatives: Commodity contracts $ — $ 3.5 $ — The fair value of each derivative contract is determined using Level 2 inputs and the market approach valuation technique, as described in ASC 820. The Company has various commodity derivatives to lock in nickel prices for varying time periods. The fair value of these derivatives is determined based on the spot price each individual contract was purchased at and compared with the one-month daily average actual spot price on the London Metals Exchange for nickel on the valuation date. The Company also has commodity derivatives to lock in hot roll coil and aluminum prices for varying time periods. The fair value of hot roll coil and aluminum derivatives is determined based on the spot price each individual contract was purchased at and compared with the one-month daily average actual spot price on the New York Mercantile Exchange and the London Metals Exchange, respectively, for the commodity on the valuation date. The Company has various commodity derivatives to lock in diesel prices for varying time periods. The fair value of these derivatives is determined based on the spot price each individual contract was purchased at and compared with the one-month daily average actual spot price of the Platts Index for Gulf Coast Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel on the valuation date. In addition, the Company has numerous foreign exchange contracts to hedge our Canadian subsidiaries’ variability in cash flows from the forecasted payment of currencies other than the functional currency, the Canadian dollar. The Company defines the fair value of foreign exchange contracts as the amount of the difference between the contracted and current market value at the end of the period. The Company estimates the current market value of foreign exchange contracts by obtaining month-end market quotes of foreign exchange rates and forward rates for contracts with similar terms. The Company uses the exchange rates provided by Reuters. Each contract term varies in the number of months, but on average is between 3 to 12 months The carrying and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows: At September 30, 2016 At December 31, 2015 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value (In millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 73.2 $ 73.2 $ 63.2 $ 63.2 Restricted cash 1.0 1.0 1.2 1.2 Receivables less provision for allowances, claims and doubtful accounts 360.1 360.1 305.7 305.7 Accounts payable 265.0 265.0 206.3 206.3 Long-term debt, including current portion 977.9 1,045.3 1,023.5 855.3 The estimated fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables less provision for allowances, claims and doubtful accounts and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and the current portions thereof is determined by using quoted market prices of Company debt securities (Level 2 inputs). Assets Held for Sale The Company had $2.9 million and $4.2 million of assets held for sale, classified within “prepaid expenses and other current assets,” as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company recorded a net impairment charge of zero and $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to certain assets held for sale in order to recognize the assets at their fair value less cost to sell in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-43, “ Property, Plant and Equipment – Other Presentation Matters The following table presents those assets that were measured at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet on a non-recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2016: At September 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In millions) Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets – assets held for sale $ — $ 2.9 $ — The following table presents those assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet on a non-recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2015: At December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In millions) Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets – assets held for sale $ — $ 4.2 $ — Available-For-Sale Investments The Company has classified investments made during 2010 and 2012 as available-for-sale at the time of their purchase. Investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Management evaluates investments in an unrealized loss position on whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on a periodic basis. Factors considered by management in assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include: the nature of the investment; whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific adverse conditions affecting the investment; the financial condition of the investee; the severity and the duration of the impairment; and whether we intend to sell the investment or will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. When it is determined that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the investment is written down to its market value at the end of the period in which it is determined that an other-than-temporary decline has occurred. As of June 30, 2016, the investment was in an unrealized loss position from its adjusted cost basis for twelve months. Based on the duration and severity of our unrealized loss, management determined that an other-than-temporary impairment occurred and thus recognized a $2.8 million impairment charge within other income and (expense), net in the second quarter of 2016. The investment was also in a gross unrealized loss position for twelve months as of March 31, 2015. Based on the duration and severity of our unrealized loss, management determined that an other-than-temporary impairment occurred and thus recognized a $12.3 million impairment charge within other income and (expense), net in the first quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the investment has been in an unrealized loss position from its adjusted cost basis for three months. Management does not currently intend to sell the investment before recovery of its adjusted cost basis. Realized gains and losses are recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income upon sale of the security and are based on specific identification. The Company’s available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2016 can be summarized as follows: At September 30, 2016 Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value (In millions) Common stock $ 2.3 $ — $ (1.2 ) $ 1.1 The Company’s available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2015 can be summarized as follows: At December 31, 2015 Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value (In millions) Common stock $ 5.1 $ — $ (2.9 ) $ 2.2 There is no maturity date for these investments and there have been no sales
